DM Gets Sneak Attacked- Case of the Deposed Dungeon Master| GM 911
This DM gets sand bagged in the dungeons and dragons game he put together and we do our best help out.
Original GM 911 Post
I was able to get a group together to play homebrew DnD with me as the DM. With the release of Storm King's Thunder however, we all got excited to play it. One of my players, however, an avid Adventurer's League player outside of our homebrew group, wanted to DM the intro module to SKT, and I acquiesced.

Our arrangement is that after the initial intro adventure, I will be back in the DM's seat to run the rest of the book. Now, however, he also wants to run the Adventurer's League expeditions for our group. He's also laying down his house rules for when he DMs, and is starting to see himself as the co-DM.

To be honest, it's petty but I'm not willing to be anything other than the main DM. It's why I got the group together in the first place, and a large part of me wants to keep running things my way (which so far, has been enjoyable for the group). The player in question is a good guy, so I would not like to ostracize him in any way, but I'm always tempted (and I'll admit I'd be a jackass if I ever do) to pull rank and remind him I'm still the main DM.

His AL group apparently functions with them taking turns DMing, but they enjoy running the published material so it's not a problem. I, however, like to homebrew heavily and find the most enjoyment out of creating original stories, so it's off-putting for me to switch out with another DM. We're already getting into small arguments about rulings.

I hope you guys can understand my conundrum, as I do not want to create unnecessary drama or damage the group dynamic in any way. The other players just want to kill giants so they don't mind either way. How should I resolve this with my other player?
